EB , I don't think you have seen many races at Chester have you ?Salford Red Devil is badly drawn , it is in Stall 9

which means in a 5 furlong race at Chester , it has a big disadvantage , you need a low draw ,Charlie knows

.

Charlie - your post is very patronising.

For the record - yes I have been to Chester many times and although semi retired I still write a daily Racing column for subscribers. From what I have seen from your posts maybe Charlie doesn`t know.....everything.

Anyway I was merely pointing out to fellow Reds fans that our esteemed Chairman has many runners at Chester today - they are not `tips`but all entries made by MK.

I see Salford red devil won

Yes wins from Stall #9 which wont please Charlie (above) will it? Won really well too. Well done Chairman.

And placed 3rd first time out from stall 12 as well. Thanks to the Dr and to Salford Red Devil, this horse certainly helps my bank account out.

You can certainly see why Charlie Caroli was a clown!!

I think you need to change your strapline to "Charlie knows " after your prophetic post!

Fortunately I didn't follow your "expert" advice and backed SRD.

Won pretty handily in the end.

Chairman lands another big prize at York (Winner £16,172 ) with Montasa. I`m not sure whether this is the one owned by Greg Inglis or Billy Slater

Lets hope that with all his racing connections that The Doc can get more Racehorse owners interested in our game, which with luck might equal more money coming into Rugby League.

Well EB , the Good Doctor and your good self have nowt to show up to now , I would save my cash for next week at the Royal Meeting , though for me I cant see the Good Doctor being in the winners enclosure there either .
Its been a sad week for Charlie

following the sad death of Sir Henry Cecil , what a great man ?Anyway his good Lady has taken over the Stables , im backing her at Ascot next week , though ive been told to watch for a horse running next Saturday the last day of Royal Ascot , its called BUNKER , trained by R Hannon , and ridden by R Hughes ,

Charlie knows.

The Chairman has 33/1+ GABRIAL running at Royal Ascot.

He will be there in his Top Hat & Tails with his Good Lady - probably the first time anybody from RL has appeared at Royal Ascot.

Good on you Doc. Give the Queen a Season Ticket if you win the prize.






Not in the same class as the others - bit like our team at the mo.

Au contraire EB. Numerous Earls of Derby have been heavily involved with horse racing (the Epsom Derby is named after Lord Derby, 17th Earl) and rugby league.

Correct me if I'm wrong Gaz, but the Wigan versus Saints derby match is the only official derby contest other than the Epsom derby?

So says Wikipedia but I couldn’t be certain on that. The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Derby_CupFrench rugby league cup[/url is also named after Lord Derby, who donated the trophy.

Cheers for this. You're probably the best-trusted agent of historical correctness on here. Speaking of which, I'm currently reading Geoffrey Moorhouse's 'At the George' (which I highly recommend to all that read this). For the benefit of appreciating origins of the game, I might forward my copy to Marwan. His employee Graham Lowe gets a mention or two.

Its not 'official' as such but the Wigan v Saints game is the only one to have been personally endorsed by Lord Derby to use the derby term.

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification. Do you know how Lord Derby came to endorse the Wigan v Saints match?

He was the MP for Wigan (Westhoughton) from 1892–1906. I wonder if that had something to do with it?

How many winners has the Good Doctor had at Royal Ascot this week



, you cant get a Top Hat to fit him

.

Probably as many as you had Charlie

I think it was the opening of the old pavilion at Knowsley Road which he opened before a Saints Wigan game

Chairman has a big chance today with Mount Athos 15:05 Ascot - Prize: £213,300.00.

The good Doctor had a lot of runners the other week at three different courses.

He also had a lot of players on the pitch the other week as well.

Why do people from Widnes & Castleford trawl our Forums having a go at people putting money INTO Rugby League.
